Hi Venkat,

do below in UDF - Take input argument String a - write below in UDF:

Double d = new Double(a);

float f = Double.floatValue(d);

return Float.toString(f);

Hi Venkat,

in graphical mapping do below:

source field ->MapWithDefault->UDF->Output field

double click MapWithDefault and specify 0......just check your source data is having valid data for double field.........

use below code for UDF:

Double d = new Double(a);

float f = d.floatValue();

return Float.toString(f);

Thanks,

Try this

Hope this help

Hi,

In UDF, we have to wrok with strings only. When convert to string, getting error ,Float can not be deferenced...

Venkat

float f = (float)a;

return f.toString();

convert it to string using toString function or do this way return result = f+ ""; this will also work.

Hi,

You can use the constructor directly Float f = new Float(double value)..

If the value is a double object, then you can get the double value as

double d = "your entered Double Object".doubleValue()

Another way is to type cast Float f = (Float) double value...

Hope this helps..
